Epson 4990 Scanner Question

2012-03-21 by faeofavalon

Hey gang -
I had this problem in the past but must have resolved it somehow but
can't remember how. I use the Epson 4990 flatbed scanner to scan all of
my negatives. I am trying to scan in frames including the edges of the
film (so the numbers will show, etc) but when I select the area, the
image is pure white. When I select ONLY the image area, the image is
there. I tried deselecting the backlight compensation option in the
Epson software but it doesn't seem to do anything. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated :)
